"This story defies expectations of what an early chapter book can be." School Library Journal

"Ivy and Bean are irresistible." Kirkus Reviews, starred review



Annie
Barrows's bestselling chapter book series, Ivy & Bean, is a
classroom favorite and has been keeping kids laughing--and reading-for
more than a decade! With more than 6 million copies in print, Ivy + Bean
return with a brand-new book for a new generation!



Now in paperback!
Ivy's worried. She's read a lot of books about only children, so she
knows that they are sometimes spoiled rotten. They don't share their
toys. They never do any work. They scream and cry when they don't get
their way. Spoiler alert! Ivy doesn't have any brothers or sisters.
That's why she's worried. How can she keep from getting spoiled? She
could give away all her clothes, but she'd probably get in trouble. She
could give away all her toys, but she likes her toys. There's really
only one solution: she needs a baby sister, on the double! Luckily, Ivy
and Bean know just where to get one.
